Abstract

Microscale chemistry is an approach to conducting chemistry experiments which can help overcome increased concerns about environmental pollution problems as well as rising laboratory costs. It is accomplished by using miniature labware and significantly reduced amounts of chemicals. The main goal of this study was to explore whether the use of microscale chemistry experiments can increase student’s understanding of chemistry concepts and improve attitude towards chemistry practical work. Quasi-experimental design without control group was used to determine from purposively selected class of 40 freshman students of Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSE). The students worked in groups on eight microscale chemistry experiments in a period of 8 weeks. Pre and post-test were administered before and after the treatment. Results revealed that microscale approach significantly improved student chemistry academic performance. Students’ perception of microscale is positive. Findings showed that the microscale approach can increase understanding of chemistry concepts. Keywords: learning, students’ attitude, microscale laboratory

Abstract

The goal of this study is to find out how satisfied faculty members at Bulacan Agricultural State College are with their jobs. Work environment, rank and employment status, faculty adequacy and loading, pay, fringe benefits and incentives, faculty development, and peer communication are all regarded motivating variables that have an impact on job satisfaction. The survey instrument was completed by 139 faculty members out of a total population of 186, which comprised both permanent and contract-based status academics. It seeks to get insights into the mean job satisfaction ratings of faculty respondents based on a survey. The study showed that the faculty members are generally satisfied with their current circumstances, though the college should consider factors such as training and development that will enable faculty to perform their current jobs effectively and prepare for future assignments, particularly now that the school environment is shifting to a new school environment as the new normal due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers may have concluded that the college should focus more on motivating and maintaining these human resources in order to make them happier and to maximize their efforts by assuring the college's overall greatness.
